Visitors to Detroit may not realize what residents of the Motor City have known for decades: metropolitan Detroit is a stunning showcase of mid-century modern houses. Endowed with old growth trees, rolling topography and miles of lakefront, the Detroit area inspired talented architects and their progressive clients to create uniquely beautiful residences that were seamlessly integrated with lush natural surroundings. Detroit landscape designer and contractor Peter Forguson has shaped and maintained the grounds of many of these structures, and the comprehensive list he has compiled of the best examples is now a breathtaking book, Detroit Modern:1935-1985.

Where can outstanding examples of Modern houses in America—spanning from the nation’s earliest exposure to Modern architecture up to the present day—be found? In Chicago, New York and Los Angeles? Residents of Detroit, and indeed the entire state of Michigan, have been living with some of the finest work by such Modern masters as Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Eliel Saarinen since the dawn of the 20th century. Peter Forguson, a landscape designer in metropolitan Detroit, has pursued his passion for Modern architecture by documenting the many superb examples of residential Modernism where he lives and works. He featured a generous sampling of them in his book, DETROIT MODERN: 1935-1985, published in 2022.
